Last Clue
Splosh! A mixture of colors drained down the sink, as Axil cleaned his paintbrush and palette after finishing one of his creations: a beautiful, yet very oddly and alien looking landscape. Axil had a great visual imagination and painting allowed him to show others what he saw in his mind, at least some of it. Sharing his creativity and improving his skills weren't the only reasons why he spent a lot of time doing art, as the painting was a gift for someone very close to him. He always let the work dry over the night and then take it with him to the school the following morning, storing it in his locker.
Today, he was very excited, because lately, he put more and more effort into his paintings, as this was the last piece of work he wanted to give to his boyfriend Frelix a week before his 18th birthday. He met him over two years ago and after getting to know him, he fell in love with him, which was much to his delight a mutual feeling. Frelix was not only a very good and caring friend, he was just as creative as Axil, which gave birth to their weekly gift pattern. Instead of investing money into meaningless things like flowers, postcards or little toys, he invested something much more precious and valuable into the gifts he made for him: his own time and mind.
Each week, he would draw a new painting for him and give it to him the next afternoon at the highschool whenever they got a chance to meet. Because the senior year at the school was very time consuming and heavy on schedule, meeting was somewhat problematic, but that just made the gifts even more valuable and the time they spent together more precious. Frelix would then take the picture and because he was an aspiring game designer, he digitized the painting and then gave it life - turned it into a simple computer game, reflecting on the ideas that Axil put into it and adding ones of his own, so week after week Axil could see his sceneries being brought into life, a wonderful gift from his soulmate, an imagination and creativity bonding them together.
But although the mental portion of their relationship was very fulfilling and enough keep them passionate about each other for all this time, it lacked a certain physical side. Unfortunately for both of them, they lived in a society that looked down on same sex pairs. Anytime they were in public together, mostly eating together in a restaurant, walking around the city or just talking at various places, they could simply say they're discussing a game project they are working on, which was actually true, so it helped to avoid any suspicion by drawing attention from any other reasons of their numerous meetings. But being high school students, they didn't have much privacy time for themselves individually, let alone somehow spending it together.
However that was going to change soon, in the most spectacular way Axil could imagine. Because next week was Frelix's 18th birthday, he wanted to give him the greatest gift they both desired for a long time and make it very memorable and special. It was part of the reason his paintings got more complex lately and took more time to make: they were actually clever clues for what he had planned, clues that were intelligently hidden in the pictures using fine art of symbolism and hidden meanings, so it wouldn't be obvious to anyone except Frelix, because both fluffies thought very alike and wanted the same thing.
Today, Axil was standing at their usual meeting place and looking for his precious fennec in the crowd, with the last painting containing last clue in his paws. He felt his heart pounding in excitement, as the moment he waited for so long was getting so close. "Hai!" exclaimed Frelix, who just came from his class with a big smile on his face, happy to see his husky-boy. "Hi there" replied Axil, wagging his tail and handing him the picture he made.
"Oh spectacular!" exclaimed Frelix when he took the picture and looked at it, "This is the last piece, isn't it?". It depicted a small island surrounded by an ocean of white cream, so it resembled some dessert with a yellow sugar pile on top, with some palm trees on it and also four dimly glowing jewels lying in the middle, two having a silver color and the other two somewhere between yellow and brown. Above the island in the cream ocean were flying metal chains, decorating the starry sky, they were however broken and separated in multiple places. Frelix immediately knew what the drawing symbolized which caused his cheeks to turn red and quietly utter "Sooo... finally next week right?". "Right, unless you don't want to..." replied Axil with a slightly teasing tone, to which Frelix responded "Of course I want silly, you can't even imagine how much". "Oh, I think I do" added Axil with a blush on his face as well.
Frelix put the painting in his bag, as various details in the picture had actually hidden instructions for the next week, just as a few previous paintings from the weeks before did, so he could decipher them later. His heartbeat increased a lot as well, as he couldn't believe it was already coming. "Also, as you hinted a few weeks before, today we..." started Frelix with unsure voice. "Yes, today, at 22:00, last time before..." started his explanation Axil, "...last time before the island." finished Frelix. Axil nodded, when the school bell suddenly rang. "Looks like I have to go" said Frelix sadly. "Yeah, me too. Bye, love you" parted Axil. "Love you too" replied Frelix quietly, so nobody but Axil could hear him and ran away to his class.
Although they spent the rest of the day separated, both having a plethora of classes, activities and chores to attend to as next week was the final exams week, they couldn't help to think about each other all the time and pondering in their imagination about the special moments they will begin sharing at the end of the next week. But also this particular evening was very special for them. As they agreed to, this night would be the last time they would achieve sexual climax individually, last time before the first time they would do it together. And they were surely going to enjoy doing it tonight.
